Start/Finish Location

The start and finish is located on Chalks road, however entry will be via Forties Rd, which is clearly signposted on the western side of Warren Rd (which is the Birdwood to Williamstown road). This is 2km past the Chalks Campground turn off (when coming from Adelaide).

Getting there

Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/PVXmeywxBQU5s3BQ9
Written Directions:
- Probably the easiest route for most people is via North-East Rd past Tea Tree Plaza, and then through Inglewood and Gumeracha along the Torrens Valley Scenic Rd. At the eastern end of Gumeracha, turn left (northwards, signposted to Forreston) into Randell Terrace which becomes Forreston Rd. Go for 11 kms from this turnoff, turn left at junction with Warren Rd, and drive approximately 2 km to Forties Rd (on the left). .Allow 40 minutes for this route from Tea Tree Plaza.
- Or you could go along Gorge Rd, and after about 18 kms from Athelstone shopping centre, take the turning to the left signposted Williamstown. After another 2 kms turn right into the Torrens Valley Scenic Rd to Gumeracha; then proceed as above, through Gumeracha.
- If you get there via the South Eastern Freeway, take the turnoff signposted Woodside to the left, and continue for 31 kms until you come to the turnoff to the left signposted Birdwood Town Centre. Take this, and go through Birdwood. The turnoff to the the right to Williamstown is one km after the centre of town, and the Forties Rd intersection is 12.5 kms further on the left, about two km north of the junction of Warren Rd with Forreston Rd and one km north of the junction with Cricks Mill Rd (signposted Mt Pleasant). Allow one hour for the whole journey from the start of the Freeway (at the junction with Cross Rd and Portrush Rd) to Forties Rd turn off.

Toilets on the way

To avoid long queues at the portaloos when you get there, please use a public toilet on the way. There are public toilets in Kersbrook, Birdwood, Gumeracha, Mt Pleasant and Williamstown.

Mandatory gear

Please carry a mobile phone.
The first aid and emergency phone number is printed on the back of your bib.
Please notify the race director or TRSA registration desk if you withdraw from the course.

At the race

Bag drop

There will be a bag drop tent. It will be unsecured and not supervised – bags are left at own risk. Don’t leave valuables at the bag drop tent.

Bib pickup procedure

All electronic timing bibs must be picked up at the event. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the event start time in order to collect your bib. Find out more about collecting your bibs.

Chip timing procedure

Learn about our timing procedures.

Be careful

Beware of slippery patches on the tracks. Bare, packed, earth covered by green moss may be very slippery.

Course Marking

The signs to look out for:

Red arrows at turnoffs. All turnoffs will be marked with arrows, and ribbons are never used for this purpose.
Red-and-white ribbons to confirm that you’re on the right track.
Wrong way signs where needed.
Course divergence signs where needed.

The red-and-white striped ribbons will be placed at frequent intervals (200-400m) to confirm that you are on the right track. Wherever you need to turn off, there will be an arrow sign. If you stop seeing any signs, turn back. Do not carry on and get yourself even more lost. All runners are expected to carry a mobile phone.

Drink station and refreshments

There will be 4 water stations on the extra-long course, 3 water stations on the long course, 2 water stations along the medium course and 1 water station along the short course.

Bring your own bottle belts or hydration packs, because there will be no cups of water at the drink stations.

There will be water, fruit, and Maurice’s delicious brownies, as well as a commercial coffee van, at the race start/finish. At the drink stations along the course, there will be water and lollies.
